As usual, you are positively encouraged to engage in sockpuppetry in this thread. The usual rules apply.

Please, be sure to switch back to your regular handle when commenting on other threads. I have made that mistake myself.

Sockpuppet comments about the Republican primary race are strictly prohibited. If you wish to use sockpuppets for that purpose, confine your comments to this thread. Same goes for any discussion that is not funny where people want to get angry at each other. Offending comments will be summarily deleted and the violators flogged.

And remember: the worst sin you can commit on this thread is not being funny.

As you may have heard, Team Obama is rolling out a 17-minute documentary of the president’s term in office. Here’s the trailer:

Narrated by Larry CrowneForrest Gump Tom Hanks, this looks to be preaching to the converted, with much emphasis on how Obama inherited a terrible economy and on the, er, triumph of Obamacare, which remains unpopular to this day. If you have any doubt of this, watch Piers Morgan allow director Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth, Waiting for Superman) to beclown himself under the mildest of questioning:

Ah, yes… the big challenge in making this film was that Obama is simply too awesome for all of his awesome awesomeness to be captured in only 17 minutes. This is hilarious, but to be expected from someone making an official Obama campaign documentary. What is sad, but almost equally predictable, is that beneath the establishment media’s economic happytalk and Obama triumphalism are stories in places like the WaPo and Politico wondering why Obama’s numbers aren’t better. Why don’t more people recognize Obama’s awesomeness? Inquiring minds in the establishment want to know! Or do they? There are variouspossibleanswerslurking, but the media seems more interested in asking people about contraceptives.

Karl – The answer to that question is obvious. It’s all about better messaging. We have to get the President out there in front of the people to talk more about his achievements over the past three years so they have a better sense of what he has accomplished.

Forgive me for stating the obvious, or even fault me for being somewhat non-barackesque (if there is such a word). But has anyone used everify to check on the B0 employment eligability. Went to http://www.everifyfaaq.com and subscribed for the trial run (i didn’t need the subscription… although it was affordable). He couldn’t pass employment… now I know.

Why would Obama make a documentary for his base? It doesn’t make any sense.

WHAT ABOUT THE MIDDLE?

Obama exists within the Left wing bubble formed by the sycophants surrounding him. He believes they are the “middle” and that the great majority of the country is some sort of “lunatic fringe”. Ask yourself, how often does he get out of his bubble. He did that with “Joe the Plumber”. It didn’t turn well, can you think f him doing it since?

I’m getting bald. My movie career is on the skids. Rita likes jewelry. I needed work. I will happily lie through my teeth for 17 minutes worth of cash and a few late nite TV appearances. Anybody got anything else for me?

Rush Limbaugh should be prosecuted for calling this Fluke a sl-t and a wh-re.

So I wrote a letter to Florida prosecutors urging him to be imprisoned under a law that blatantly discriminates between men and women. Because I am a feminist lawyer who thinks that women can’t deal with someone saying something bad about a woman’s sexual habits.

And remember that the middle is the opposition. That’s why they had to bribe conservative democrats to go along with health care. The new bipartisan is liberal meeting progressive.

You can almost hear Piers screaming, “‘ave you gone bloody mad?” he can’t even say, “well, his ears are too big for my taste,” or even “I do wish he would have closed gitmo.” nope. He’s perfect.

We cringe when we see foreign media heaping praise like this on their leaders because you can feel the armed men standing just off camera. That would explain why this guy seemed to be lookin a little crazy paranoid.

Sockpuppet comments about the Republican primary race are strictly prohibited.

No, no, no. I am a 1%er, from when it meant guys who ride old, beat-up Harleys, and I refuse to play by your rules. If I want to talk about Harley replacing the primary chain with a belt, I will. And I don’t care if they call it Republican. So there.

And since I’m not sockpuppeting, I am not breaking the rules. Never mind. FTW.
